Firstly, the square root will be the last thing you figure out, which should make the problem much easier to figure out.

But incase you still need help, there’s two ways to do it. There’s the long way which would be: X x X= X^2, X x (-3)= -3X, 3 x X= 3X and 3 x -3=-9. This gives you X^2 -3X +3X -9 or just X^2-9 after the +/- 3X’s cancel each other out. Then you find the square root of it which is impossible because you cant find the square root of a negative.

Or you use a shortcut, knowing that when you have the same problem multiplied by itself, with the only difference being the + and -sign, as in (a+b)(a-b) you will only have a x a and b x b, because the rest will cancel out. As proof: X x X= X^2, 3 x -3= -9, so the answer is: X^2 -9. Again, you cant find the square root of a negative.

use the fact that sqrt(a) x sqrt(b) = sqrt(a x b)

so in your case a = x + 3

and b = x – 3

so sqrt(x + 3) x sqrt(x – 3) = sqrt((x + 3) x (x – 3))

which = sqrt (x^2 – 9)

and sqrt (x^2 – 9) can’t be simplified any further

(a+b)(a-b) is a^2 – b^2

Therefore, your answer is

sq.rt (x^2-9)
